You can't charge a 505 off a USB wall charger. You can use either the USB computer connection, or a wall charger that plugs into the round charging port on the 505. I happen to have the actual Sony one, but I've heard here on MR that the ones sold for the PSP handheld game console will work. The Sony charger is rated at 2000mA (yeah, 2 amps) -- the 505 must be a hungry little critter. On the plus side, the wall charger charges it very quickly.
